What would be a fun, educational made up game that a special ed class can play?

So I have a final coming up soon, and in my peer tutoring class, each peer tutor has to come up with a made up game that is also educational. The thing is, the activity has to involve some kind of math or reading skills %26amp; can be used for students who have academic skills in the range of 2nd to 5th grade. Any ideas?What would be a fun, educational made up game that a special ed class can play?It's a play on another well known game but you could definitely do some type of "Mad Libs" game. Mad Libs (you know, with the words missing where you have to fill in a noun, adjective, etc) actually uses a well known educational procedure called the "Cloze Procedure."

2nd to 5th grade varies a lot in their understanding of reading -- in 5th grade a MadLib may be longer, ask specifically for nouns, adjectives, verbs, or parts of speech in general. In 2nd grade it may only ask for words that make sense -- "Fill in a word that finishes this sentence, feel free to be silly!"

Just an idea, I hate to rip off MadLibs but it's a reading comprehension activity at the very least!What would be a fun, educational made up game that a special ed class can play?It's a play on another well known game but you could definitely do some type of "Mad Libs" game.
